Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from thatcreativeceo. Love this question because “solar panel glasses” are a real menace. 😅 Here are the big things I do:
- Raise the key light above eye level and angle it down so the reflection bounces past the lens, not straight into it
- Use butterfly lighting (light centered, high, angled down) for an even, flattering look with less glare
- Nudge the light slightly off to one side instead of dead-center when needed
- Tilt your frames or your chin a couple degrees if there’s still a hotspot
Want me to walk you through this for your specific setup (ring light, softbox, window, etc.)?
